Can confirm. There are a lot of strays in my country, my parents always leave food in the garden, so they have quite the colony in the garden now.

Yes they are. It’s a bunch of armchair political experts confidently talking out of their buttholes.
There IS a racist political movement, which is often referred as Grey Wolves abroad who think they own the symbol, but leaving an ancient cultural story to a bunch of fucks is the stupidest thing ever. This is the same level of stupid as saying Pepe the Frog is a white supremacist symbol.
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 3 days ago:
No they are not right. I can’t know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk’s Nazi salute doesn’t automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).
In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it’s ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?

Besides, it can still be made consensual. Change the contract. Elves prefer being servants? Let them stay as servants willingly while having the option to leave if they prefer so. Keeping only the two extremes yall are slaves and yall are fired also is a pretty much pro-slavery position.

America is the big mixed bag. I think we’re better and stronger that way.
You answered your own question.

That makes the whole SPEW thing even more hilarious. Imagine a black girl starts a campaign to end slavery of house elves, and everybody makes fun of her. The fucking author’s position ins that the elves actually prefer slavery and Hermione is stupid for trying to end that.

That’s the main delusion of every MAGA,fascist,racist, Islamist, whatever “I’m superior by birth” ideology everywhere: they believe they are the elite.

But only when it’s consensual. It’s okay when that gets violent and exploitative.

Not exactly that but Jolla might be interesting for you. I had the first edition of the device in 2014 and I loved it.
Thry finally released a second gen hardware last year I think.

Most Zigbee devices are locked into working with proprietary gateways to the cloud. The last leg of connection being not-wifi doesn’t change that.
Matter seems like a step in a somewhat good direction for establishing open standards so devices from different vendors can be combined and more importantly, controlled from a hub of user’s choice.

Deep Rock Galactic and especially Helldivers 2 gave me the most positive interactions with random strangers despite lack of dedicated social hubs or lobbies.

My young colleagues (early 20s, I’m in 40s) found some real cheap beyblades in nearby Lidl, set up an arena and started fighting at breaks. They asked if we could 3d print custom parts. I’m not that interested in participating but I’m very interested in engineering the shit out of them.

Imagine launching weather satellites and there is suddenly a whole new continental society living peacefully by intentionally avoiding rest of the world.

- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 month ago:
It wasn’t only in Germany. It first started in Italy as Fascism, and became popular all over the place. As with many Italian inventions, Germans “improved” it and made Nazizm. But they also inspired a lot of similar racist movements, especially around Europe. Captain America was published in 1938 specifically because some comic artists worried Hitler was becoming too popular in USA.

When a new game costs 60 bucks, just paying for a game pass and have access to a random library seems appealing. It’s also a nice way to try and discover games I guess. I never used it.

- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 2 months ago:
I think watching and developing parasocial relationships with streamers, male or female, is pretty fuckin weird anyway.
It is weird in an understanble way. Homo sapiens is a pack animal. For most of our 300k years of history, we survived by forming tribes and being connected to each other. This is why rejection sucks at any context, be it romanic or employment or friendship.
Today, we are more alone and isolated than any time in history. It’s understandable some lonely people are desperate enough to hang onto some simulacrum of connection.

That’s me, give me those dark cold days I can snuggle warm blankies when I get home. Fun fact: you can always dress more when you are cold but there is a physical limit to dressing less when you’re too warm.
